I am so anxious to see the wedding dress Kate (or Catherine as she is now to be addressed) will be wearing on Friday. There have been so many designs out there drawn out for her..but who will she go with? Here are some, among hundreds I'm sure.

{Gucci}

{Karl Lagerfeld}

{Prabal Gurung}

{Missoni}

{Valentino}

{Alberta Ferretti}

{Nick Verreos for Project Runway}

How gorgeous is the Nick Verreos design?? Definitely one of my favorites as well the Prabal Gurung design(I think she should wear something grand, poofy, royal, traditional) and Alberta Ferretti (this one does say Kate all over it...definitely looks like her style, but so does the Gucci)...oh boy, glad it's not my wedding or I'd have like 5 dress changes scheduled that day haha. Which one is your favorite?

Anybody else obsessed with The Royal Wedding and Kate?? I am...and will for sure be waking up at 4 in THE morning to watch. Talk about a fairytale wedding. I can't help but wonder what Kate and her family are thinking...like wow, you are now part of the royal family and will some day be the queen...INSANE!!! Kate Middleton is just so beautiful, elegant, stylish, and I feel like she is one of us (in a way haha). So here is the lovely Kate (and her fabulous style), Enjoy.

Stay tuned tomorrow for more Royal wedding talk (told you I was obsessed)

So this week I started a new job...exciting!! Don't want to go too much into detail of exactly where I will be working (sorry just weird about that) , but I will say that I am a psychotherapist in a medical organization. Pretty exciting stuff, nerve racking as I haven't been "the new girl" in forever, but I should be fine, right? I get to work with the little ones again (and young adults too). I have to say that I am probably most excited about getting a new office, aka a blank canvas. I doubt I will go all out like the following photos, but I hope to incorporate some of these ideas and gorgeous details. Here is some inspiration...

I had a shopping filled long weekend...and loved every minute of it. Thankfully I cleaned out my closet during the week in order to fill it again with new and improved clothes and shoes. Although I am an "always wear black" type of girl, I found myself totally gravitating towards bright colors, specifically tangerine, and nudes. Here is a little "vignette" I created of some of the things I bought over the weekend...

Love!

Here are some other tangerine nudes I added to my newly organized closets...

I'm so obsessed with tangerine right now that even my nails are a tangerine like color (Cute as a button by essie).

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and Easter:-) Off to a new week at a new job...wish me luck (hence the good excuse for shopping, wink wink)

P.S. And I have to thank my honey for being ever so patient with me and brutally honest when asking for his opinion when trying clothes on (his facial expressions are classic haha) saves me from looking like a fool. Love you sweetie pie :-)
